The length of time does a normal divorce take?

Georgia law permits a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with required paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is required to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to finalize the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of concerns have to be resolved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Riverdale?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed.

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
